Portrait of Emperor Marcus Aurelius in the Walters Art Museum, September 2009

Portrait of Emperor Marcus Aurelius in the Walters Art Museum, September 2009

Portrait of the Emperor Marcus Aurelius

Creator: Roman (Artist)

Period: 161-180 (Antonine)

Medium: marble (Sculpture)

Accession Number: 23.215

Measurements: 14 1/2 x 11 x 11 9/16 in. (36.8 x 27.9 x 29.3 cm)

This masterful portrait of Marcus Aurelius (reigned AD 161-180) captures the pensive temperament of the philosopher-emperor and author of the celebrated "Meditations," reflections on life and the ways of the gods. The smooth, softly modeled carving of the flesh contrasts markedly with the mass of thick, curling hair. The drooping eyelids and detached gaze suggest his contemplative nature.
